[QUOTE="AJ Peacock, post: 174790, member: 4885"] I wouldn't expect any of them to kick much more than a hot 45-70 (different but not much more, depending on rifle weight). If you reload, I'd go with the 300RUM, you can download it a little if needed, the barrel will outlast a 7mm RUM, good 30cal bullets are plentiful, its enough for most elk/bear situations and more than enough for long range deer. Don't let recoil make the decision for you, with a good stock and a little heavier barrel, good recoil pad and reloads, you can have your cake and eat it too (with or without a brake). With a brake and some good muffs, you won't even feel the rifle go off and you'll be able to spot your own hits! AJ [/QUOTE]
